SECRETARY KERRY: Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. Assalamu alaikum and Ramadan Kareem. I’m very honored to be with you. I’m holding this mike very close because I was in the Arctic the other day. You can hear my voice. I caught a cold. I think I got too close to the icebergs.

But it’s an honor for me to be here. Shaarik, thank you for a very generous introduction. More importantly, thank you for your wonderful service to the United States State Department. I think all of you can feel his energy and his enthusiasm, can’t you? And he is doing a terrific job for the State Department. (Applause.)

A wonderful good evening to you all. I want to express my appreciation to Imam Pastor Magid and also to Pastor Imam Roberts – (laughter) – very appreciative for their – very grateful for their wonderful words of faith, their words of an expression of our common ground that brings us here, and which more and more people really need to understand. And to all of the distinguished leaders of faith who are here, particularly if you don’t mind if I single out my old friend, His Eminence Cardinal McCarrick, who is such a wonderful leader here. (Applause.) I want to thank you all for hosting us here today. I’m looking out at this audience, and I want to know why there are more cameras focused on Angelina Jolie than me. What’s going on here, guys? (Laughter.)

Beyer said “We’re not going to discriminate when it comes to immigration based on religion.” This alludes to Donald Trump’s proposal to temporarily ban Muslim immigration in order to prevent jihad terror attacks. He added that H.R. 5207 was intended to “appeal to hope rather than fear.” Kumbaya. Giving into “Fear” is Islamofauxbia.

BTW when I Googled on "Islamofauxbia," I got this response "No results found for Isalmofauxbia" and instead got results for "Islamophobia," top among them the CAIR-sponsored www.islamophobia.org. Now the Internet is being compromised.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective regarding guest Hussam Ayloush of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. Guest commentators are not NPR employees, and the views they express are their own.

As a news organization, we strive to examine the varying points of view that reflect and inform the national conversation about important issues. That is also why we encourage you to consider our coverage comprehensively. We, of course, do not expect listeners to agree with every perspective voiced by a guest. However, we do hope that you find the conversation is of value.

Thank you again for your feedback.

Even worse than NPR is PRI's The World, which is broadcast weekdays at 8 pm on WAMU 88.5. It was so Islamophilic that I quit listening to it. I re-captured an hour of my life each weekday!

This Resolution is using the specter of violence against Muslims to try to quash legitimate research into the motives and goals of those who have vowed to destroy us, which will have the effect of allowing the jihad to advance unimpeded and unopposed.

Please stop using CAIR as a reliable source. At least 5 CAIR officials have been jailed for supporting terror. CAIR was identified as an un-indicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land terror-financing trial. The United Arab Emirates has designated CAIR as a terrorist organization.

It astounds me that media accepts CAIR's description of itself as a civil rights group when the truth about CAIR can easily be found on the Internet. Is it laziness, or is it time pressures that prevent journalists from further investigation?

Here's the non-answer that the NPR Ombudsman gave:

Dear ------,

Thank you for contacting my office. CAIR has been investigated in the past and the Dept. of Justice decided against prosecuting the group or its leaders.

Lately, I've been on a letter-writing spree to MSM outlets concerning their reliance on organizations like CAIR, although I often think that it's an exercise in futility. Below is a letter that I sent to PBS NewsHour concerning its segment American Muslims feel singled out amid a climate of fear that was broadcast last Friday, December 11. For Northern Virginiastan readers, it's old news, thanks to Always on Watch's reporting.

I am writing in regards to your segment on backlash against Muslims. This is the second "Muslims fear backlash" story that I've heard today (the first was on NPR's Morning Edition). I am sick of the "Muslims fear backlash" stories. They deflect attention from the true victims of Islamic terror attacks and make Muslims the victims.
I note that P.J. Trobia visited Dar Al Hijrah mosque near Washington, DC. Did you ever look into this mosque? It has multiple links to terrorism:

* Ahmed Abu Ali, who taught children at the mosque, was sentenced to life for plotting to assassinate former President George W. Bush.

* The late Anwar al-Awlaki was an imam at Dar Al Hijrah Mosque. He counseled both Nidal Hasan, the jihadist who carried out the Ft. Hood massacre, and Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the "underwear Bomber." You might recall that al-Awlaki was killed in a drone strike in Yemen.
